Nimble Science Launches Groundbreaking GI Health Data Platform, Welcomes Prof. Eran Segal to Scientific Advisory Board

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nimble Science, a precision medicine company empowering biopharma and digestive health companies with access to novel GI health data, announces the launch of its revolutionary data platform. This cutting-edge platform is designed to transform therapeutic and diagnostic development across various healthcare fields, including gastrointestinal, neurological, metabolic, consumer, and animal health.

“The addition of Professor Eran Segal to the SAB, speaks to the quality of the SIMBA Capsule data and its massive potential for health innovation.”

In tandem with the launch, Nimble Science proudly welcomes Prof. Eran Segal, a globally recognized computational biologist from the Weizmann Institute of Science with deep expertise in personalized medicine, nutrition, and the complex interplay between genetics, the microbiome, and health, to its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). Prof. Segal will provide strategic guidance as the company pioneers innovative solutions leveraging its growing database of precision intestinal data.

The new SIMBA GI Health Data Platform is powered by Nimble Science's proprietary SIMBA^TMCapsule, a first-in-class ingestible device that collects and preserves precise, high-quality samples directly from the small intestine. The SIMBA Capsule has been integrated into over 19 global clinical studies, delivering solutions to customers evaluating disease conditions and therapeutic product interaction. The data platform now empowers users with data quality indexing and access to valuable insights derived from a growing repository of matched metagenomic data sets from healthy and disordered small intestinal samples.

"The ability to provide high quality, scalable data insights is a turning point in healthcare innovation for Nimble and our partners, and opens the door to discoveries previously out of reach," said Sabina Bruehlmann, Co-Founder and CEO of Nimble Science. "The addition of Professor Eran Segal to the SAB, speaks to the quality of the SIMBA Capsule data and its massive potential for health innovation."

Prof. Eran Segal, who leads a multidisciplinary team at the Weizmann Institute of Science, shared his enthusiasm for joining Nimble’s SAB: "The small intestinal microbiome is a critical frontier in understanding and improving human health. Nimble's innovative platform offers an unprecedented opportunity to map microorganisms in this vital region at scale, shedding light on disease mechanisms and enabling the development of transformative diagnostics and therapeutics and targeted interventions for a vast range of health conditions."

Building upon the successful launch, Nimble Science is actively expanding partnerships across the healthcare, life sciences, and consumer product sectors to unlock the full potential of this groundbreaking multi-omic data.
